Prudence

(Although I remember doing this passage in orientation) There appear to be four qualities that the Kӑsdīm (Chaldeans) were looking for, among the Hebrew captives, to work in the King's palace: Physical attractiveness Application of Knowledge (Prudence and wisdom) Knowledge/teachability Strength/aptitude Most translations do not translate the last quality as strength, as in the King James Version. They translate it as, "and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace" (Daniel…

almsgiving- Almsgiving is the act of giving time, money, or goods to people who are poor or in need. (application: pg 148 “In the Gospel of Mark and Matthew, we read about Jesus’ teachings about almsgiving, or giving money or goods to people who are in need.”, vocabulary: pg 149, Example/Symbolism, the penny from Co Judy [I gave penny away during Mass]) -Each of us is called to respond to Christ’s call to love and serve to serve others by using God’s gift that He has given us. (talent/skill)…

upbeat for the individuals who live well and effortlessly, Kantians will probably regard those for whom a decent life is not a simple one. Since Aristotle and Kant are not attempting to answer similar inquiries in giving their individual records of prudence, it is not clear that they are truly in struggle with each other, in any event in the way that was at first thought. Some knowledge can be picked up by asking (or attempting to solicit) them the other's question. There remains a leftover,…

exist within their borders by coming together and not allowing the English people to take advantage of their worries. Another practical proposal that is refuted is "of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence, and temperance." Parsimony is the "the quality of being careful with money or resources," prudence means "the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason," and temperance means "moderation in action, thought, or feeling" (Merriam-Webster). Because these are all notable…

“The virtue approach focuses both on the freedom and duty of the person to form their own character, but also how that character is shaped positively and negatively by one’s social environment” (Bates 83). I wanted to begin with this quote because I think it is the best way to summarize the virtue approach which is something I had never even heard of before taking the Experiential Education class. However, just because I had never heard the term ‘virtue approach’ does not mean that it had not…

Every capability and every action is a pursuit of some good. According to Aristotle, “Every craft and every line of inquiry and likewise every action and decision seems to seeks some good, that is why some people were right to describe the good as what everything seeks. But the ends that are sought appear to differ; some are activities, and others are products apart from the activities (Nicomachean Ethics, 1).” The goods that are sought out are the ends. Aristotle believed that an end was more…

According to Aristotle virtue ethics encompasses the idea that happiness can be found in a person’s lifetime, and ultimately, the aim of all human actions is happiness. Virtue is an activity learned through repetition (2006, pp. 65-83). Aristotle believes one’s virtue of character must be taught, and he states, “…none of the virtues of character arises in us naturally” (2006, p.68). I believe virtue of character is mainly taught through one’s environment and upbringing. I also believe a person…

Descartes mediations question all the things we know to be true about the world around us. I believe his central argument is that we exist (C). He seeks to prove existence through multiple factors. He will prove it by discussing the mind (A) and the body (B) which are two completely different objects, yet are intertwined. The mind and the body have their own separate ideas too, 1, 2, 3, and 4. These ideas consist of imagination, sensory perception, extension, and motion. These ideas all come…

This could be seen in the following: If you want to torture children, you should seek psychiatric help. You want to torture children. Therefore, you should seek psychiatric help. While this seems perfectly valid, suppose we replace the first premise with a hypothetical imperative: If you want to torture children, you should volunteer as a babysitter. You want to torture children. Therefore, you should volunteer as a babysitter. Thus, when we affirm the first premise as a hypothetical imperative,…

The Japanese key value is harmony and uses it as a guideline for the family and business settings as well as in society. Japanese children are taught in preschool to act harmoniously and cooperatively with others. They also value teamwork, politeness, personal responsibility, and the hierarchy. The Japanese is group-oriented society and they value non-verbal communication more than spoken words. Children are taught and raised not to be independent but rather to work together. They trust…
